Extruders, heaters and temp probe not working
-
Can anyone shed some light on our current config file? All of the motors are currently working, except for the extruders, along with the heaters and temp probes (we have tried thermocouples and thermistors). We do have a daughter board but not tried it yet
We started off using the online configuration tool, but have had to change plenty of things to get it working, but it is just this problem (which is hopefully something simple).
The extruder has worked in the past when we initially got everything talking and running a gcode, but they only turned at the end of the print (that was before we changed the config); Configuration file for Duet WiFi (firmware version 1.17)

I have just looked at the tfree, tpost, tpre files and I am guessing that they are the issues, but not sure what needs to go in there.

It wont be those files, it appears that you might have a default thermisistor settings. Have you tried targeting your specific thermocouple or thermisistor?
Knowing the correct OHMs at room temp and full temp then plugging those into the calculator on the online configurator will go along way.
You should then be able to run autotune on each of the heaters.

Please can you clarify in what way(s) the heaters and temperature probes are not working. Are you selecting a tool before trying to heat up the extruder(s)?
